This may be a silly question but do you all tend to leave your cable modems on all the time? I leave the fridge on all the time, I can see a reason to do that, but the cable modem and router I power off when it’s not going to be used for a few hours.

I am an insomniac so I leave it on all the time, in case I need it in the night. The only time I do unplug it is when lightning or a storm is forecast - so many routers have been fried on Sanday in the past year, but then I do have spares ha ha.

On average I'd guess I'm on-line four hours per day, mostly streaming video in the PM. That leaves 20 hours per day that the modem and router are on just doing the usual glowing and blinking. Let's see, according to energyusecalculator.com a typical cable modem and router use about six watts apiece. OK @ 15 cents/Kwhr ...... that's $1.10 USD per month, approximately 1% of the total electric bill which surprises me a little. Better not mention this to the bill payer.
